Very slick if you are a major league consumer of on-line media and

Why? Does it take more intelligence than you have to operate it?

No, stupid...I am not a major league consuer of on-line media and
apps...and therefore I have no use for an iPad. It is certainly not a
replacement for a good laptop computer, which I happen to own.

No you don't, you have an Apple.

Do you spend all of the time that you're out of your basement at the
Apple store in the mall?


There are only two retail stores in the Annapolis mall I visit regularly
when I accompany my wife there...the Apple store and Borders books.

Now, if we head over to the Tysons Corners mall in Virginia (once or
twice a year), I visit the Apple store there, the big book store, L.L.
Bean, and Restoration Hardware. There's also a first-class fairly
authentic southern Italian restaurant at that mall I like.

I buy most of my casual clothes from mail order houses, and my business
clothes from J. Press and Brooks Brothers.

Now, Loogy, you know my retail personal shopping habits. Isn't that
really exciting for you?

Well, *that* makes a lot of sense...

It does make sense if you think about it.

Harry, do you think that anybody here besides Don believes your lies
about how much more sophisticated and refined you are than anybody
else on the planet?

I think they're totally cool. I think I'm going to get one for a b-day
present... don't want the 3G model, just wireless. I've already put in
my
request for the max memory version. :)


They are very cool indeed, but I'm hard pressed to think of what I would
use one for. Hell, I don't even have an iphone...just a plain old cell
phone.

I would use it for movies and pictures. It has a microphone, so I think
you
could use it with Skype... not sure about this.


Hadn't thought about that...but...since Apple is controlling the "apps"for
the device, and use of Skype would interfere with sales growth of its
iPhone, I wonder if and when it would be available. It definitely is not a
phone as delivered. The iPad does a very nice job with movies and still
photos...saw that demonstrated at the local apple store this past
saturday.

Macworld has some interesting write-ups on the device:

I have no experience with Iphones. You have AT&T and you are able to go
around it via Skype? You make calls without using AT&T at all? That's cool.

I suspect there would have to be an iPad specific app for that to
happen...I can't see apple allowing that.

Yeah, AT&T. I don't use Skype a lot.. I have unlimited minutes, but every
once in a while I can't get on their network. It's pretty seamless. I pay
for an account, so I can dial non-skype numbers. I used to have a Skype
number, but no one ever called on anything but the land-line or cell number,
so it was just a waste of money.

Skype is a free app... I can't imagine Apple would care, since they don't
for the phone. The iPad has speakers and a microphone, so I think it would
have all the hardware required. I'll have to ask my Apple friend and see if
he knows something about any restrictions.
